Exercises 3134 display a matrix  A and an echelon form of A . Find a basis for Col Aand a basis for Nul A .

In this example, we have a problem from linear algebra pertaining to matrices.

The matrix \( A \) is given as:

\[
A = \begin{bmatrix}
1 & 4 & 8 & -3 & -7 \\
-1 & 2 & 7 & 3 & 4 \\
-2 & 2 & 9 & 5 & 5 \\
3 & 6 & 9 & -5 & -2
\end{bmatrix}
\]

The matrix \( A \) undergoes row operations to reach its row echelon form:

\[
\sim \begin{bmatrix}
1 & 4 & 8 & 0 & 5 \\
0 & 2 & 5 & 0 & -1 \\
0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 4 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0
\end{bmatrix}
\]

Explanation of the procedure:
1. The matrix \( A \) is a \( 4 \times 5 \) matrix.
2. Through a series of row operations (which typically includes row swapping, row multiplication, and row addition/subtraction), the initial matrix is transformed to a row echelon form. 
3. The leading entries (also known as pivots), which are the first non-zero numbers in each row, are aligned in a stair-step fashion from left to right.

Importantly, the matrix can have zero rows at the bottom, indicating rows of all zeroes which are a result of the row operations to move to echelon form.

These steps help in solving systems of linear equations and understanding the properties of matrix transformations.
